The first two occurred consecutively approximately twenty-two hours ago.
The fiat equivalent of the total 33,853 BTC constitutes a whopping $1,298,892,215. At the time of writing this, the flagship cryptocurrency is trading at $38,954 as per the data provided by CoinMarketCap.
After reaching a peak in the $42,300 zone on August 1, Bitcoin has dropped and been unable to recover to that level and surge higher.
Various bearish factors with the statements of US lawmakers – Senator Elizabeth Warren and the chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler, both demanding harder regulation for cryptocurrencies – and Binance ceasing to trade Bitcoin derivatives in Europe have been holding BTC below $40,000.
